Yes it is public schools.

If it were both private and public, Cornell would be #1 , Davis #2

if you get your appeal in, its better to go into Ani Sci i hear (which is why i am switching to said major from Ani Bio).

Davis' Vet school is considered top tier, therefore it is also a very difficult one to get into. But in all actuality, all Vet Schools are hard to get into. Average GPAs are usually 3.5+ so it's very competitive as well.

I've heard good things about the teacher, it's smaller class size.

From a recent pre-vet Davis student who was accepted to a Vet school:

One difference between ani bio and ani sci is that ani sci only requires 2 calc classes so vs. ani bio requires 3 calc classes. Ani Bio requires more work overall. Plus Ani Sci has everything from Cows, to sheep, to horses i hear

@Coldfront

heh, yea I looked at that a while ago. Fair warning that most people will not be getting in :P In fact it takes some people 2 or 3 tries to get in.

Not really, if one is determined enough and knows exactly what to do to get into Vet school then they should.
